/ck/ - Food & Cooking

All of /ck/ gets together for a potluck meet-n-greet, what do you bring?

What homemade food are you bringing to the /ck/ potluck? You can bring up to two (2) dishes.

For me? It's Spam Musubi and Twice Baked Potatoes.

Need help picking a low effort dish for the office potluck. I need to bring "American food" maybe pizza?

you have to bring something. what will it be.

>Meanwhile, at the /ck/ potluck...

Wisconsin-hating faggot here.

By that I mean I spend a fair portion of my time circulating and proliferating negative media about the midwest, specifically Wisconsin's food. I do this because I spent two horrifying years in the belly of the beast against my will and will take any potshot I can to make the 24 months of torment feel, even minutely, avenged.

I had never given out so many 1-star reviews in my life. Humorous, since friends in the south had previously taunted my tendency to give out nothing but 4s and 5s. I am not a picky person.

In regards to the restaurants:

-Asking for the house special, the waitress/bartender's favorite, or any recommendation at all will incite a blank stare from the person taking your order. This is a populace of picky swine, so the thought of eating slop from the pile you didn't choose is a frightening and all-together foreign ordeal to them.

-The food will always come lukewarm or cold. It's never hot. It's not hot to-go, it's not hot in the restaurant, it's not hot delivered. This was the main thing that got to me while living there. About two months into not being able to receive hot food when you go out, you start to get an inner tension that no human should confront. Your brain starts to panic. It's like prison punishment; you're getting sustenance, but for some reason your soul is screaming. When month 9 hits, going out to eat is self-imposed cruelty. Food never comes hot. IT NEVER COMES FUCKING HOT. WHY IS IT NOT HOT. IT'S ICE-COLD. WHY DO THEY WAIT TO BRING IT TO YOU EVEN WHEN THE ESTABLISHMENT IS EMPTY.

-The dishware is always dirty. They do not clean their dishes in hot water, so the oils from previous foods on both the frontside and backside of plate, alongside flecks of food or human hair. This was an ongoing problem.
